In one episode, Charlotte's boyfriend, a bald Jewish divorce lawyer, has just moved in with her. He likes to walk around naked but unfortunately leaves "skid marks" on her fancy white sofa. Needless to say, there is nothing like this in the movies even though the same guy who wrote some of the best episodes on HBO wrote the movie. Clearly Hollywood wanted to cater to what it perceived as the tastes of mid-America when they should have gone for broke. I will be writing more about this later. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
